Originally published at: Lawmakers Threaten Prosecution, Impeachment if DOJ Officials Blow Epstein Files Deadline

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the Justice Department will only release some of the Epstein files Friday, a move members of Congress slammed as a violation of the law President Trump signed last month.  “I expect that we’re going to release several hundred thousand documents today, and those documents will come in all…

One thing: Who’s gonna make them?

The House is off until Johnson decides to call them back. We know what happened the last time he had to do the right thing - we ended up with a lengthy shutdown and a Representative that wasn’t sworn in until more than a month after she should’ve been.

Johnson will keep this on a back burner until someone tells him it’s time. It clearly isn’t time yet.

Uh huh. Like Mikey will call the House back to hear articles of impeachment. Like Bondi could get charged by her own cadre of rimlickers.

I think their time is winding down, but there is simply no treason party member who will rise from the vat of shit and do the right thing.

If every single one of them had clear, certain evidence that they were going to get blown out next fall, they still wouldn’t do it, because they know there’s a militia of crazies waiting to come after them. They’re simply going to grift, inside trade, then walk away and deny they had a part in it.

Mike Johnson is as slippery as an eel.

Or, this could hasten Johnson’s downfall as speaker. The discharge petitions may have only just begun.

My guess now is that Mikey, the pious little twit, is in the files. He has sold his soul to the very devil to keep these files from being released.

Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are happy that the Epstein files clown show is diverting attention from the fascism project. But, if hurts Trump, let’s go for it.

Fearful, pitiful, treasonous, immoral, unprincipled, unpatriotic lying worms.

Keep the pressure on. And BTW, somebody gonna leak.

There’s more pressure available than just what’s available through Congress and courts.

Truth in this maladministration is stranger than fiction. Any person who is a milktoasty as Johnson has some really weird things going on in the background. He gives off the vibes of the preacher who is “SO good with the kids”.

You realize the coverup started before Trump was first elected. There are a lot of rich bastards in those files. Peddling young girls is how Epstein made his rather lavish living. I want every one of those rich bastards to endure public humiliation.

“‘My goodness, what is in the Epstein files?’ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tweeted. ‘Release all the files. It’s literally the law.’”

Sure, Marjorie, “it’s the law.” But what is a law these days, really, when you think about it?

The horrible one may be nearing the line across which he is inescapably damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

Unless he’s already crossed it.

Anyone who isn’t a complete idiot know the corrupt Trump DOJ won’t release any incriminating Epstein files on Dear Leader. One hopes they already prepared a law suit.

If I was writing this novel, Trump would announce his resignation the week after Christmas. He would do so with the understanding that JD Vance was going to pardon him. In my novel, Vance wouldn’t pardon him, and would move quickly to solidify his grasp on power.

Of course, in my novel JD Vance would do this next Christmas, or even next January, now that I think about it, because that would enable him to be president for 10 years, theoretically, which would be more than enough time for him to establish absolute power.

Trump seems to be flaming out too soon for my novel.
